Fed up of seeing plates piling up in the sink?  Make your life easier with a dishwasher !

Choosing the right dishwasher means choosing one that meets all your expectations and requirements. First you need to decide what type of dishwasher you want (free standing, built-in or compact), then it is up to you to determine your needs in terms of the number of people living with you, the amount of space you have, and your day-to-day activities.

To help guide in your purchase, follow this Zabilo & you guide: it has everything you need!

1. Type of dishwasher

Remember that your choice of dishwasher will be determined by the layout of your kitchen since it will has to be easily inserted into the space.

• Free standing dishwasher : this is the most common model. Easy to position and install, it will fit perfectly into your kitchen, making it ideal for people who don't have a fitted kitchen.

• Built-in dishwasher: This model is designed to be installed in an already fitted kitchen, for example under a worktop. In this case you will have to check the dimensions.

• Integrated dishwasher: This is also built-in but it is better integrated into the rest of the kitchen. They are usually covered by a door that matches the other (cupboard) doors in the kitchen, in order to respect the design of the rest of the kitchen. The dishwasher buttons are located on the top of the door and are hidden from sight when the dishwasher is closed.

2. Size of dishwasher

It's particularly important to check how much space you have in your kitchen before looking at dishwashers. There are 3 main sizes of dishwasher:

• Classic : 60cm width / 85cm height / 55 to 60 cm depth

• "Small" : 45cm width / 85cm height / 55 to 60cm depth

• Free-standing or mini dishwasher: 55cm width / 45cm height / 50 to 55cm depth

3. Features

When choosing your dishwasher, pay attention to the different programmes/features it has to offer. The choice should be as broad as possible.
For example, if you have particularly fragile crockery you should look for a dishwasher with a delicate programme which washes between 40 to 45°C without causing damage.

Certain other programmes could also be very useful. On some dishwasher models, there is a delayed start program. This allows you to run it at night.
If you also want to save water and electricity without waiting for the dishwasher to be completely full to start a wash cycle, you can use a half-load programme.

4. Noise

A quiet dishwasher allows you to use it in the evening or at night without causing disturbance. This setting is particularly important for people who live in studios or who have their bedroom attached to their kitchen. A dishwasher is considered quiet between 43 and 46 dB, and very quiet below 42 dB.  

5. Energy class

An important thing to consider is the energy consumption of the device. Indeed whilst dishwashers help you save water, this shouldn't be to the detriment of your electricity bill. Pay attention to energy consumption. Dishwashers are graded from A (very economic) to D (not at all economic) in terms of their energy consumption, washing efficiency, drying efficiency and noise emissions.

6. Price

The larger the capacity of the dishwasher, the higher the cost.
If you live alone, go for a compact dishwasher with five or six place settings, thus avoiding unnecessary costs.

Now you're all set! We'll let you make your choice here.
